So when I woke up last Thursday to howling winds and sheets of furious rain, I resisted the urge to crawl back into bed and instead opted for staring raptly out my window, thrilled by the weather. As it turned out, that was the day's high point--until dinner, anyway. Leaving for work was fine; I wrapped myself in a ski jacket and shot out of the

• You Say You Want Some Downtown Dallas Progress Reports? Well, Then, You Got 'Em.

  Justin TerveenOur old pal, The Urban Fabric, grabbed this shot of downtown just last night, matter of fact.​I had Karl Zavitkovsky, head of the city's Office of Economic Development, on the phone this afternoon, so I asked him for a couple of updates per several Friends of Unfair Park's requests piling up in the comment box. After the jump, a word from developer Larry Hamilton as well. And a message left for one city manager.Anyway. First off, some of you were wondering if the city was pursuin

• The Dallas Plan? Been There. Visions for Dallas? Done That. Well, Let's Try This Again.

  So now we know the name of the latest plan for downtown: Downtown Dallas 360. For which we're paying about $515,000.​A couple of weeks back we mentioned The Future of Downtown Dallas Forum scheduled for today at the Dallas Convention Center -- 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., for those with nothing better to do (like, um, work? U2?). Anyway, like we said back then, it's being hosted by the Berkeley-based urban planning firm to whom the city gave $515,000 to hash out yet another downtown master plan back in A
